How is it possible that I faired even worse than last night? It was still fun and all (and I even got a neck-stab in with a spy – yay!) but I always seemed to be on the losing team. I was usually the best player on the worst team, mind. Clearly not my fault then!
Remember that interactive chicken thing that was an advert for KFC or something? Where you could tell it to jump up and down or die or hop or make cow noises? Some of which it responded to? Well, this Free Your Buddy is like that, only with a purpose! It’s a text adventure, with video. Amazing! Here’s a trailer: And here’s a link to the game: http://www.freeyourbuddy.com/
I’m not really a big fan of multiplayer vs shooters, and team based ones even less so, but Halo 3 put me in the mood for some and since I have what many consider the best of the genre in the form of Team Fortress 2, I gave it a go. And? I was pleasantly surprised. It’s all cartoony, which is a plus for me, and the variety in the characters you can play as is great too. I didn’t …
Got a few more stars, taking my total up to 83. That’s just 37 remaining now (although most of those done are the early ones, so it’s mainly tricky ones left). Found the final Green Power Star, which opened up a few more “odd” galaxies, like another Ray Surfing one, and a Monkey Ball type one. And Melty Molten Galaxy is amazing.
It was decreed that after work today, Halo 3 was to be played on two system-linked 360s and huge projected screens. And so it came to pass, and there was much shooting of each other and baddies as we three played some Slayer (I came second) and some co-op until it was time to go home. And ye, Halo 3 still isn’t fantastic but verily in a group Slayer is much fun.
To WordPress.¬¨‚Ć Hurrah!¬¨‚Ć Maybe.¬¨‚Ć Things seemed to go rather too smoothly, with only my old RSS feed vanishing in the process (I was going to put WordPress’s feed at the same URL as the old Blogger one, but WP doesn’t seem to let you do that). So here it is.¬¨‚Ć Amazing.
I’m now up to 77 stars. Most of today’s play was spent getting the purple coins on the water ring level, which actually involved totally avoiding the water and Bee Mario-ing from cloud to cloud stopping off at trees on the way. Also had another race with a Boo, as Boo Mario, and collected loads more purple coins in the bone yard place. And killed a giant rock! And defeated a mole in a cannon up a tree! AMAZING.
This is a trailer for a horror film about teenagers who eat magic mushrooms and then some stabbing happens. Ace! Warning: video may contain scenes of talking cows.
Now up to 71 stars! Had a difficult purple coin run on Battlerock, and a sedate purple coin run on Honeyhive – which took ages as there were a few coins that were difficult to reach. Also found a hidden star on the Beach Bowl level (Ice Mario wall-jumping up waterfalls! AMAZING) and completed another Haunted Mansion level which was a race against a Boo. I’ve done all of the first two observatories now – hurrah!
For a while now, I’ve been considering moving away from Blogger and transferring my blog to WordPress. As it stands, I have a Blogger account using a customised “old-style” Blogger template (no widgets and gadgets and fancy stuff) which uploads via SFTP to my site. Thing is, I’m now finding the lack of a few things such as “next” and “prev” page links, tag clouds, and so on a bit of a limitation these days. I’ve installed WordPress and tried …
That’s two games in one day! Amazing! After test 18, you managed to escape from the testing chambers, although I won’t say how or what happens afterwards, but when you finally defeat the end of game boss (with hilarious running commentary from the boss itself), you get the credits. Credits with the best ending song ever. Which I can’t say as it’s a spoiler. But AMAZING. And! CAKE! Yay!
You might say “What? Already? What a short and/or easy game!”, and you’d be wrong. You see, like Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine before it (in fact, like virtually every Mario game, actually) just beating Bowser at the end is The End as such. You only need 60 stars to do that, “win” the game and see the credits. So with that many, I beat the boss and completed the game. But that’s only half the stars! Now there’s the …
No, I have no idea why the “The Orange Box” box goes pink when you resize it to the thumbnail you see on the left. Most odd. Since I don’t want to complete Mario Galaxy too quickly, I’ve decided to play something else for a bit. Yeah, I know I have Phantom Arsegas and Shadow of a Colostomy on the go at the moment, but, well, this arrived yesterday and everyone says it’s ace and I’m weak. What I don’t …
